Potted Sunflower

Hello Glad you stopped by.  Today I am featuring the new Sunflower Set  as well as a few other new dies. Cheery Lynn Designs new release had so many beautiful dies and they are so easy to work with to make beautiful cards very quickly.

For my base I started with the Rectangle Scalloped LG Purple Stackers  and then layered a beige paper next that I embossed with the Black Eyed Susans. A little ink on the embossing makes it pop a bit more. I then made a frame with the Rectangle Stitch and Cut Tool  by cutting the center out of it and then popped it up. The new Deutschland Square Doily  was tucked in behind the frame with the Deutschland Tag  layered off side. The corners are from the new Deutschland Accents. The accents, tag and flower pot were all cut in black and then Inka  Golds was added to give them a metal look. These new accents and tags are a nice addition to match up with previously release designs from CLD.

Here is a close up of the new Sunflower Set  that was potted in one the  new Flower Pots . All the detail in the sunflower is just amazing. With a little distress ink and a stylus to shape it a bit it will turn out beautifully with hardly any work.

I appreciate that you stopped by to check out my creation. Thanks again to those who take the time to leave a comment. It is always nice to hear what you think.

I would like to invite you now to join our challenge @http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge. The theme is "Anything Goes".

With Love

Glad to see you here. I thought I would share another card with you using two more of the newly released dies.  And being Valentines Day is just around the corner I decided to create a Valentine card.

I used some nice heart paper for the background and then layered the Oval Stitch and Cut Tool   , Fleur De Lis Oval Doily  and the Cupid in that order. I added the Branch in the bottom corner along with the Dandelions for the tiny flowers. For the top corner I cut the Heart and Arrow and stamped a sentiment on it. I then popped it up over the doily.

Here is a close up of the Fleur De Lis Oval Doily  and Cupid. It really is amazing what a little distress ink can do when used on the die cuts.

I hope I have inspire you and that you will join the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge for a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. The theme this week is "Sweethearts".

Cheery Lynn Designs New Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs January New Release Blog Hop.  We are so excited to showcase the wonderful new dies that were just released.  If you just came from visiting  Bonnie @  "Make Time To Craft"  you are on the right track.  If not, head back to the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog @  http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/ and start from the beginning so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects  from our design team.  "Follow through to the end of the hop and leave a comment on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog too for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate."

For this card I have chosen to feature three New Release Dies. They are the
New  Windmill , New  Fleur De Lis Oval Doily, and the New  Flower Pots.  

I used the Oval Stitch and Cut Tool - LG Silver Stitch Tool   for the three base layers. This is one from the last release and I am using it a lot. It is one of my many favorites. You can see the beautiful New Fleur De Lis Oval Doily  in the center. Got to love this one too. I layered a piece of map paper in the center of the doily and built up from there.

 

Here I have tucked the New Windmill in behind the flower arrangement. One of the flower pots from the New Flower Pots  was used to pot some flowers in.

This flower arrangement was created using the  Shasta Daisy , Medium Rose , Embellishment #2, and
the  Olive Branches   with some of the Wheat Heads  tucked in front of the New Windmill .

Here I took a piece of green paper and put glossy accents on it. While that was still wet I place one of the  Flower Pots  in black  and let the glossy accents squish through for a glassy 3D look. I really like the look it gave to the  Flower Pot  . As you can see the flower pot has wonderful details in it. I potted the Darling Daisies  and created tiny flowers as filler using the Dandelions.  A few pearls were added to the flower center and along the top right to give the final finishing touches.

Picture Perfect

How Exciting! Cheery Lynn Designs has just released a large assortment of new dies for us crafters to create with. You can check them out @ http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/shop/ .

Some of my favorite dies from this new release are the film related dies so I decides to create a 8X8  page layout with them. I can see using these dies a lot.  They are amazing.

Here I started with a black matt with a white layer on top.  I layered the New Film Strip Border  across each corner of the page and stamped some sentiments inside a couple of them. A few more sentiments were stamped around the page.

Here I have cut the biggest of the New  Film Set which is a 2 piece set  and placed a photo inside it.

This photo show using two of the three piece set of the New  Polaroid Film . Again some photos were placed in the center of them. The New sentiment Lovely  was layered along side them.

Here I cut one of the New  Polaroid Film  out of a photo and layered the Camera inside it.

Thanks for stopping by and before you go please leave a comment below and let me know what you think of these New Film Related Dies.  Have a crafty week.

Jan 8 th Winter Wishes

A warm hello to all you Cheery Lynn fans out there.  We have been getting lots of snow here lately so thought I would share with you a winter card. I love snowmen. They always melt my heart. So a snowman card it is.

For my base I used the Rectangle Scalloped LG. I just got the Rectangle Stitch and Cut Tool  and the
Oval Stitch and Cut Tool   and I am so impressed them. They really do add a little something extra to your cards.  At the top right corner I layered the Snowflake Set 2 with the mittens from the Christmas Knick Knacks die set. On the left corner I used one of the dies from the the Say What? set and printed "Winter Wishes" on it.

For the  floral arrangement I used lots of cut outs from the Wreath Strip  for the base with the Snowflake Set 2 layered on top. The Sweet Williams and  Cherry Blossom  brightened it up.
A bit of glitter was added to give it the final touch.
I hope you can find the time and come join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge. Joining the challenge will give you a chance to win a  $20.00 shopping spree.

Looking forward to next Friday when I will post a new project to inspire you. Have a crafty week

Celebrate 2016

Hi.  I wish  you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2016 .

I really wish this photo showed the way this card sparkles. I used a gold paper as my base. I then used embossing ink on the Clocks Embossing Plate   and embossed  black cardstock. I put gold sparkly embossing powder on the cardstock and heat embossed it. It really made the clocks look cool. I inked the Pierced Banners  and layered the sentiment Celebrate onto it.

I layered the Pennant Die  in the center and layered the numbers 2016 from the Delicate Lace Script  set.
Well that is it for today but please do join our weekly challenge " Anything Goes "

Poinsettia Step Card

 A warm hello to you.  I want to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas Day and that you have the love of family and friends around you today.

Today I have created a card using one of CLD step card dies. I do love the CLD step card dies as they are a easy and quick bases to make. I have use the A2 Fancy Step Card Kit  for the base of this card. The flourish pattern in  this die makes for a elegant card. The Royal Scandinavian Doily Circle  is very elegant too so I layered it onto the center of the base.

 I featured the Poinsettia 2 in the center cutting it out of the pow paper which glitters so nicely. From the Deer in the Forest  die I used the leaves and flourish part of it to use as filler around the poinsettia. The pow paper is thick enough that the insides of the leaves don't fall out really easy so it gives a nice look that way too instead of always popping them out.

Another die of CLD that I really like is the Pretty Pretty Bows . You get two different sizes and they make perfect bows. This is the smaller sized bow that I have used here.

Well that is it for today. I am so glad you took the time to stop by . We do have our regular weekly challenge going on as usual so if you have the time and want to share your creation I would love to see it.  The theme this week is "Thank You".
 You can join @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for you chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree.

I hope all your stockings were filled with CLD dies and that you have as much fun creating with them as I do. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful day.

It's Cold Out

A warm hello to you.   I am glad to see you here today.



Here I have embossed the base with the Snowflake Flurries  and then inked over it with purple ink to make the embossing pop even more. I place the Dancing Doily Lace Border  up each side and a couple of pieces of it on the corners of the framed image.

Here the image was layered onto one of the  Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames  . The
 Snowflakes were cut from holographic paper which really shows them off.  The Dandelions I cut in white to make them look like tiny frosty flowers and then tucked them behind the frame. This was a simple card to make but is elegant too with the embossing, dancing doily lace border and the shiny snowflakes.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I invite you now to join our  Cheery Lynn Designs  weekly challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. I do enjoy getting inspired by all who join our challenges.

Have a crafty week

Gingerbread House

Hi Glad to see you here today.  Christmas is getting so close so I want to share another Christmas card with you. I am featuring this new gingerbread house with so many wonderful detail and accessories like the icicle roof and chimney tops as well as the lollipops and candy canes. Gingerbread was always  one of my favorite smells at Christmas time.

Here I layered kraft CS, the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames, kraft CS again and then the Royal Scandinavian Doily to place the Gingerbread House  on.

Here is a close up of the beautifully detailed gingerbread house. I added two snowflakes layered on top of each other with bling in the center using the Snowflake Set 2. The three smaller snowflakes are from the Snowflakes set which is a square die that cuts  several different sizes and shapes of snowflakes. I use this die a lot as it give you a good variety of snowflakes using only one die.

I now invite you to join our weekly Cheery Lynn Designs challenge @http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a crafty week.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

A warm hello to you today.  Today I am going to follow along with the "Non Traditional Christmas Colors" challenge theme. The traditional colors are always so beautiful but I am finding the non traditional colors can make striking cards too and people receiving them  think they are beautiful also. So go out of the box and try some new colors this year.

I always liked the Christmas song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and thought this would be perfect to use with the Cheery Lynn Designs  Clock w/Angel Wing.  So I made that my focal point of this card. I started the base by layering the Coved Rectangle - Scalloped LG Stackers and the Coved  Rectangle-Classic LG  Stackers .  I clock design on the background was made by inking up the Clocks  Embossing  Plate with black and embossing the Coved Rectangle-Classic  LG Stackers.

 

I place the Clock w/Angel Wing  a bit off the side of the card and trimmed it. The sentiment was printed on the computer then cut out with the one of the Circle- Scalloped LG Stackers .

This flower arrangement was created using the Poinsettia Strip  , Poinsettia Strip  , Pine Branches  , and the Flourish #10 . For the poinsettias I spritzed them with goosebumps and then inked them with distress ink. So any where the goosebumps spray is the ink won't cover giving it the speckled effect. I then shaped them with a stylus and foam mat. Pearls were added to the center of the poinsettias.

Thanks so much for joining me today and for the comments that were left on my last post. You still have a bit of time left yet to join this weeks  Cheery Lynn Designs challenge
@ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge. I would love to see your creations. I hope everyone has a fun week creating them special Christmas cards for the special people in your lives. See you next Friday.
